central heating and
telephone, which was truly exceptional at that time. In the late twenties, the hotel underwent a thorough upgrading. Running cold and hot water and
telephones were installed in every
room. Beside the
rooms bathrooms were built, they reconfigured the electrical installations, expanded and modernised the
kitchen in which Italian and Swiss cooks were at work. The Union
restaurant not only had first-class chefs but also excellent serving staff. In the main
restaurant hall and in the saloons they organised
banquets and other festivities. Union's secessionist hall was for a long period of time the biggest concert hall in Ljubljana - even in the Balkans. They arranged concerts, balls,
parties, meetings, congresses, plays and exhibitions. Renovation: In 1998 it was refurbished and transformed into an elegant and modern hotel that currently boasts
194 rooms. The refurbishment was directed by the Slovene architect Dobrin, who followed the original plans and restored its Art Nouveau charm with decorative stuccoes and copies of etched glass window panes made by the world famous glazier Rehvald from Plzen. Today: The Grand Hotel Union is a four-star hotel (****) and is today one of the most beautiful hotels in Ljubljana. It is located in the
business district in the quietest part of the city
centre - a pedestrian zone - just 100 m from the old part of the city. The Grand Hotel Union has now as well as in the past been the choice of guests, including heads of state, diplomats,
business people and artists, athletes, tourists. We had honor of hosting: Mr. William J. Clinton. President of the USA, June 1999. »What a hotel!« »Thank you for your fine hospitality.«.
